It was just a suggestion, folks. Can we ask the doctors who lost their license?

That's an odd reversal.

Oppose doctrine, lose your license is in full effect in California. Oh, we're still under "emergency" orders here because the powers that be like the extra power afforded them by "emergencies."

So I guess he really wasn't quoting a “senior US intelligence official”. Not that Editors fact check sources anymore...

this is a bit of a shocking article coming from WSJ:

probably came from an unnamed source.

Dilbert has been getting rather political lately.

Scott Adams (author) has long been pretty pro-Trump / anti-woke. After Trump's recent tirade against Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), though, Adams finally seems to have thrown in the towel on standing up for him. "I'm out," wrote Adams.

Curiously the Dilbert website has been completely offline for the past three days. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/dilbert.com.html

He's never been pro-trump -- review his twitter history, it's riddled with anecdotes about Trump lies -- he's also barely a republican. Hell look at the shirt he's wearing on his profile pic.

he's a good example:

just randomly threw in an attack against Trump about 2 months ago.

Most users on p.win absolutely despise him.

Adams is a professing Leftist. He is just more honest and intelligent than most. Kind of like Maher.

A single, unnamed fake source will do, especially when WWIII is on the line.

Did some fact-checking, and...

Nope. It's 100% genuine. Ronald Klain, the White House Chief of Staff, has in actual reality, published a list of suggested talking points for citizens to use at their individual Thanksgiving dinners.

This is bizarro-world stuff. And I'm saying that as the chairman of the Ministry of Truth. Even I could not have thought of this.
